LaMelo Ball Questionable for Hornets’ Next Game Against Thunder with Ankle Soreness
LaMelo Ball, the Charlotte Hornets’ point guard, is dealing with left ankle soreness. This has made his status questionable for the upcoming game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on December 28th. The injury was reported on December 27th, and it remains uncertain if he will be able to take the court.
What It Means
If LaMelo Ball cannot play, it would be a significant loss for the Hornets. He is currently averaging 30.1 points per game this season and leads the team in scoring. His absence would mean more playing time for Vasilije Micic and DaQuan Jeffries, who rank second and third in minutes at point guard.
Ball’s performance this season has been impressive. He has multiple streaks of scoring over 10 and 20 points in games and frequently finishes among the top players in points and fantasy points. Without him, the team’s offensive output could decrease significantly.
